Review; Code Geass Hangyaku no Lelouch

Code Geass is one of the series I was meant to watch for a long time. I wasn't exactly expecting anything too great since I'm slightly cautious about series aired around 2000-2006.

First eps I was scared will this turn out something not so great with meaningless story line, trying carry on plot but failing, but I decided to try trust on this series "fame". Couple episodes later I knew this is gonna turn out good and finished watching real quick. It didn't leave me disappointed and now yearning to continue onto next season.

Characters

From my point of view there was slightly too many side characters without meaning. Sure they carried the story on their own way but did we really need them all?

Anyway the characters were nicely created and the main characters were good. The tension between Lelouch/Zero, Kallen and Suzaku about their identities was good and I was always waiting for the great big twists.

Characters also had good motives for their actions, even if some were left a bit unanswered it wasn't anything that would left me annoyed and demand answers.

The story

Like said I wasn't expecting much, the story blew me away. The episodes carried the plot all the way and I practically thanked god's when there wasn't any unnecessary eps to "have lighter fun so before serious stuff".

Visuals

First I have to say the art style isn't necessarily what I'm mostly used to, I still like the overall visual appearance through all the character designs. Also the robots were really nice looking and the fights were just pleasant to watch.

Final review

+ great plot with good twists

+ pacing was good, there's a lot info in the series but it never overwhelms

+interesting all the way to the end

-the seemingly meaningless characters

There's still the next season so I'll keep my fingers crossed with it, so far Code Geass has been worth my time.

Review; Fate/Apocrypha

I've liked previous fate-series so I was waiting forward Apocrypha when it aired. Thankfully I had watched fate in chronological order instead of release order so I got a grasp what has happened "before" this story setting.

After initial excitement I was confused by the not usual master-servant setting,there's black and red side so like twice as much people normally. I tried think good more interesting characters.

Sadly I had to be disappointed, halfway the plot just go... Stupid? Anyway after half term series it got boring and I struggled finishing last eps.

Characters:

Theres many interesting ones, but then some of the servants backgrounds are forgotten.. like how I'm supposed to know about the queen of Babylon more than name which is even barely mentioned ??

Few of my faves:

- berserker Frankenstein

- I also found Vlad interesting

- aka no Saber

- rider

The story:

As said the story fell a bit bland. I think one fault might be that the story wasn't saber-centered like previous seasons I had watched.

Jeanne and the homunculus Sieg carried the story on but it felt slightly too much forced "what's right, what's wrong" in a really bland way.

Visuals:

Visually the series was good. Designs and animation was good and it was enjoyable to watch.

Final review;

+it's not so bad but not so good either. It's your guaranteed Fate-series

+ most of characters were interesting and I was waiting forward their motives--

- the story just.. flops.

In the end I enjoyed watching this and it's worth of your time. Just don't expect too much of it like I did :'D

Winter anime season 2018

First impression 3/3

Ito junji: collection

After 1/12 eps

+short horror stories

-might become boring in long run, the first story felt like it lasted forever

Fate/Extra Last Encore

I like fate-series, some are more boring than others but I personally enjoy the different servants and their designs.

After 2/? eps

+beautiful animation, especially Saber is looking so good *Q*

+if you like other parts of Fate-series you might find this enjoyable

+ good way lefting “what is going on?”

- but then again the beginning was once again “what the heck is going on–?” Give it sometime, second episode at least started make some sense

Hug tto! Precure

I always wanted to check out Precure-series but was unsure where to start. Then I saw this airing this season so I gave Hug tto! Precure a go!

After 1/? eps

+cute magical girl stuff

+positive vibes!

+ instead of the cliche “what is happening–?”-getting magic powers part it was nice see not so drastic reaction

-not actually minus but I feel so much out of target audience range, might turn be boring for me in long run xD

Winter anime season 2018

The 2/3 of first impressions from winter season

Zoku Touken Ranbu Hanamaru

Second season of Touken Ranbu Hanamaru, since I liked the previous season too I decided give this a go.

After 2/12 eps

+sequel, so familiar concept

+ it’s a warm series, nothing too serious

- so many charas, I still occasionally get lost with their names

Yowamushi Pedal: Glory line

Again sequel for previous Yowapeda seasons.

After 2/25 eps

+it’s a sequel so if you like Yowapeda go ahead!

+ get to see more of the new charas

- let’s be honest, this stars get boring

–> I must add, I really like Yowapeda but it’s not something I prefer watching one ep a time (that works too) but I personally find this more fun to binge-watch :’D

Killing Bites

After 1/12 eps

+good looking girls in little clothing

+designs looking nice

+ fanservice didn’t feel so forced, as someone who hates when ass and boobs are forced on screen I found this really pleasing!

-nothing negative by so far, might turn out boring after few eps. Otherwise plot too seemed okay

Winter anime season 2018

So lets start with the first reviews of winter season, I do this this time around differently bc I’m so late with these xD

I’ve cut this into four posts, three for first impressions and one for already midpoint reviews.

Citrus

I was familiar to this series through the manga, so naturally I was excited to this get an anime adaption.

My opionions after 2/12 eps

+the animation was good

+ plot seems okay

-might turn out boring

Kokkoku

I started this without checking synopsis and tbh I wasn’t disappointed. Sort of alternative universe, moving around on freeze time.

After 2/? eps

+interesting beginning

+ if you’re into more mystery kind stuff this might be interesting

- few first mins were a bit boring but it gets better!

Basilisk: Ouka ninpouchou

This is sequel for Basilisk: Kouga ninpouchou, so I was looking forward this too. Sadly I watched the original many years ago so I was a bit lost in the beginning xD

After 2/? eps

+ sequel, 10-years after the events of the prequel. No worries some stuff is being revised if you happened forget something (like me)

- still a bit difficult to grasp until ep 2

- unoriginal main pair

I doubt none gives damn about this zero blog but i wanted to shortly drop off to point out that it might take me long to write start reviews due I need study for entrance exams.

So I decided make small checklist for how I run this blog;

first impression reviews come after I finish certain amount series. So usually I try keep it 3-4 series per post. The delay when I make those can vary depending situation, but on a start of anime season I try keep it at 1-3 weeks.

I might make midpoint reviews. That depends, but with 11-13 episodes series I probably won't.

The final reviews all are their separate own posts, I try write them long.

I put GIFs, art etc on my queue so I can keep the blog running. I also queue GIFs from series I've recently watched so those work as indicator what to expect. (Still might take a while write the review)

I run this blog for my own fun. So of. I can't always sit updating --> there might be times I forget to put stuff on queue.

All my reviews are on tag Kitszune reviews so you can always check that!!

I'm gonna reblog this list every now and then so all new peeps can see it too.

For further questions, wanna talk, anything; my ask box is open.

Also I slightly more active at my twitter Kitszuneo, so there is more casual content.
